I've even got a tool (steel rules count, right?) that doesn't
use electricity at all.

Pete,
A word of caution; When that tool does use electricity do not pick it
up.

I think you really mean it uses 0 volts.

Probably works like my cordless screwdriver.

240 volt hand held tools? The original question was about 230 volt hand
tools.

And we use a full 60 cycles, not a cheap 50 cycles. I don't know what the
Europeans even do with all the cycles they save.

Ohhhhhhm, stop it.

They save the other 10Hz in their efforts to be "green". Then recycle them
to make more 50 cycle electricity.
So what was the point of the OP anyway????

Not at all constrution sites.
In the UK, electric tools and portable lighting at construction sites are
sometimes fed from a centre-tapped system with only 55 V between live
conductors and the earth. This system is used with 110 V equipment and
therefore no neutral conductor is needed. The intention is to reduce the
electrocution hazard that may exist when using electrical equipment at a
wet or outdoor construction site. An incidental benefit is that the
filaments of 110 V incandescent lamps are thicker and therefore
mechanically more rugged and shock-resistant than 230 V lamps.

I've noticed he seems to do that. At first I thought he was a webtv
user, but I checked the headers and it must be something else.

Maybe we could all chip (obligatory wood reference) in a few pennies
apiece to buy him a clue.

If you can't figure out how to use it, I probably wouldn't
care to correspond with you anyway.

He is a troll and this is his shtick. He never responds to those who attempt
to help him.
